We wen
t back out to the Rainy Creek woods yesterday to find the dogwood and document its height, diameter and to try to figure out its age.here goes:
87 feet high with a diameter of 10 inches
Core rot prevented us from determining its age. Still, it is most likely the same age as the rest of the stand (63 years).
The spread of the crown is about 10-12 feet.
There is very little crown left on this tree, this and the core rot lets us know that even if measures are taken to try to save it, there is little chance it will live much longer. Go visit is while you can!
